Guest guest Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/archives/2001/07/08/0000093207 This is what I found when I did a search on the word peixian. It is a newspaper article on the county of Peixian, and the Dawn Fine Bred meat Dog Now this is a legitimate paper so can we be sure that the dogisland is a hoax? After all people will go to great lengths to get what they want. This site seems rather elaborate to be labled a hoax. -- Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 I would like to think that this a hoax. But I fear that it might well be a novel idea for acquiring overseas dogs to improve the bloodlines of the breeding dogs in the Peixian dog factories. Please read http://www.aapn.org/peixian2.html and follow the link to the pictures. Can someone please check out the Florida end of the story?

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 This is a hoax from what I have been told. I ran this by two other lists that I am on that are anti-dog meat/fur trade and they verified that it is a hoax.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 I wish I could believe this is a hoax. Obviously the company that owns the website (Dawn Fine - Shuguang) does not have a " Dog Island " . But what they do have is a dog meat factory in Peixian - photos of which can be seen at: http://www.aapn.org/peixian.html Their policy is to introduce new bloodlines to their stock in order to obtain faster growth, more meat, more docility, etc. Western breeders have been reluctant to sell their dogs to China and this website appears to me to be a clever way of acquiring new stock. What can be done? John. > Thank good ness for this.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 I was sent this website address which is designed to look like New York City but is in fact false. http://www.council-nyc-ny.us/legislation/Int_0342-2003A.html It is obviously designed to make Dog Island look legitimate. I didn't manage to make a whois search on it.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2003 Report Share Posted March 23, 2003 On the other list that I am a member of, Korean Dogs, it has been suggested that we contact the NYC council regarding the similarity of the hoax page of http://www.council-nyc-ny.us/ to the legitimage web site for New York City Council at: http://www.council.nyc.ny.us/ Not only are the urls 95% similar, but the contents and are strikingly similar with only the the In the news section. Some of us members are going to write to: NYC Council at: feedback telling them about these similarities. We are hoping to do the same with some of the other areas of the site that are made to resemeble legitimate sources. If you do write and receive a response, please share it with me!

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 All the evidence is that the Dog Island website is a pure hoax - and not a scam to acquire livestock. Apart from other indications, the hoaxers have apparently no information on the Peixian dog farmers except what appears on the AAPN website. The AAPN website was updated a couple of months ago to indicate this opinion. Unfortunately in the recent revamp of the site, an old page was substituted for the corrected page. I apologise for this.
